Secrecy of Regrets

41 - Running for my Dear Life

41 – Running for my Dear Life

I took a sip of coffee and almost moaned in satisfaction but controlled myself. I added one cube of sugar just to tease jack.

"I told you to make it as sweet as me!"

"I did what you said that's why it tests different." He answered me with same sarcasm.

Instead of retorting back I just stuck my tongue at him as I know any comment will be reverted back to me.

"Any plans for today or still have your so called business chores to handle?" I asked him, having one of best coffee. (I just can't confess it Of course!)

He totally ignored me and casually enjoyed his coffee. After what seemed like few hours he said – "Apart from lunch at my home and outside dinner nothing else. But we never know when Zee has some idea in that pretty head of hers."

I couldn't drag the conversation further and for a little while we both enjoyed our coffee in comfortable silence!

Comfortable silence and that too with this Jerk! I so wanted to let out an evil laugh.

As if sensing my evil thoughts, he arched his eye brows at me. I so wanted to strangle him but not today. We don't kill people who made something for us!

No, no.

"And what exactly are you guys doing here in the middle of the night?" We both looked at each other and then turned to the source of voice.

And there she was, ready to pound on anything and anyone with her plastic broom stick! She looked so funny with her hair spreads all over her face and narrowed eyes with scrutinising gaze.

Before I could give any reason to make her believe her, Jack answered it for me. - "It isn't the middle of night Zee. It's dawn and I was just passing by your street when I saw lights were on and decided to check up on you but it wasn't you who was awake I guess." – Ohh, he put me on a blame! How can this man make a situation so formal?

He let his gaze stayed on me for more than necessary as if thinking of actual reason for my lack of sleep.

Huh! He will never know – No one knows and he is no different.

Only then I looked at Charlotte and she gave me that mischievous smirk. Before she could voice out her thoughts, I tried to convert her attention to other topic. - "Why do you have broomstick with you?"

Charlotte shrugged and said "I through someone again intruded our home."

"And you thought a broomstick would be useful? And what exactly do you mean by AGAIN?" I knew she was referring to her first sober encounter with me.

"Ohh, I can always use it for self-defence." She reasoned out.

Suddenly as if remembering something, she went towards Jack and encircled her hand to his shoulder even though he is taller than her, she managed it somehow.

"Jack I thought a plan for today after lunch." Charlotte started her plan while leading themselves to living room.

Jack side glanced at me arching his eye brow as if signalling 'I told you so.'

And guess what! Our weekend went as planned by Ms. Charlotte. We went to 'Game Arena' named place which was somewhere at 10 minutes drive from Jack and Ethan's house. Of course we had lunch prepared by Ethan. I was contemplating whether to eat or not to eat lunch, first seeing Ethan wiggling his eye brows.

But I had it nonetheless. Why?

Why because Jack started to eat it and if he is not dying after eating it then I can surely take chances!

So I reached to decision that everyone but me can cook food as good as some chef here. So I made resolution. Resolution that I'll find best restaurants to treat them every now and then.

No, I'm never going to learn it and that's my other resolution.

We played hundreds of games and Jack was present there physically but he was constantly scrolling through his phone. Basically he did babysitting for all three of us.

I couldn't take it any more so I and Charlotte decided to annoy him.

I was looking around to get idea to annoy him when I saw a girl shamelessly eyeing Jack from top to bottom. And there I get my prey for tonight! I explained Charlotte what we had to do.

She made her way to that girl and said something to her. I saw the girl became so excited and after few minutes she walked to Jack. She seductively eyed Jack running her fingers on his biceps.

Jack became tensed immediately and listened what the girl was saying. As if realising what it actually was, he looked around finding something or someone.

Unfortunately, his eyes stopped on us. My breath got caught in my throat and I looked at my shoulder to find Charlotte making her way towards Ethan!

I turned and saw Jack shrugged the girls hand away and started to walk in my direction. I did what I thought was best!

So I made a run to Charlotte for my dear life!

"Charlotte!!!" Charlotte could listen my voice in such crowded area was the best thing that happened to me that night.

I stopped at Charlotte's side, took a long breath and eyeing Charlotte angrily, I held her hand and yelled.

"Run!!!"
